2 Presentation of the site and expectation for its redevelopment The site chosen for the competition forms part of the area of economic activity located in the peripheral district of Vicálvaro, in the southeast of the municipality. It is an old industrial zone that was planned in the 1980s, which is showing signs of decline. It is an underused production area with quite a few vacant plots. It is physically separated from residential neighbourhoods by a railway line. It is in a area of future growth within the city, with new neighbourhoods planned in the surrounding area. The Vicálvaro district has its origins in a former rural municipality which was annexed by Madrid in 1951 and expanded with new neighbourhoods. Its population is young compared to the municipal average, and it is home to a Universidad Rey Juan Carlos university campus. construction industry, although there are some activities that are unique thanks to their technological and research specificity (renewable energy, health industry, logistics). The introduction of this type of activity has increased in recent years, which provides some hope for the growth of this area and the modernization of the traditional construction industry. Another opportunity for the area of the competition is the localisation in the vicinity of Factoría Industrial de Vicálvaro (Plot D), a municipal centre for the creation of sustainable and accessible support infrastructure for business and for the promotion of RDI (research, development and innovation), through temporary hosting spaces and specialist services. The municipal plot located at Calle Pirotecnia S/N, has a total floor area of 43,493 m 2, which includes the selected site with a floor area of 28,493 m 2, and a remaining area of 15,000 m 2 that has been reserved for a Secondary School (Plot C) at the request of the district. The Ayuntamiento will process the relevant licence for subdivision into two plots. The plot is located on the south-eastern edge of the industrial estate, next to the railway, where with this tender the plan is to introduce new economic activities whose influence may extend to the rest of the area. It is surrounded by a well-developed green space (Plot B) and very close to Cerro Almodovar, the highest geodesic vertex in Madrid and one of the few remaining monadnocks in the Community of Madrid, which creates good environmental conditions in the surrounding area. At this moment, the built-up buildable area of the whole estate is only 14.5% of the total permitted by planning. Of the activities operating, 57% are related to the The economic activity area of Vicálvaro is connected to the Madrid public transport network via the Vicálvaro Train/Metro station, where suburban lines C-2 and C-7 and metro line 9 stop. The T-23 bus also goes around the estate and connects it to the station. Road access is mainly via the M-45 motorway ring road, and the plot can be accessed through Calle Pirotécnia and Calle Dehesa Vieja, which dictate the arrangement of the area.

3 pedestrian connection to Vicálvaro station is a 10 to 15-minute walk from the plot. If new access is planned via Calle Dehesa Vieja, which alters the existing park, it must be offset with new green spaces on the plot, as the proposal must not involve the reduction of green space. The zone has a strong potential as a centre of economic activity and for facilities to support the adjacent Valderribas neighbourhood. These facilities may be educational (an institute) or sports-based. At present, the construction work of the road linking the plot to Calle Pirotecnia is yet to be performed pe. The Ayuntamiento undertakes to perform the works but candidates will be allowed to propose new alternatives for links to the existing road network. The City will consider positively all proposals that will include the construction of a footbridge for the crossing of pedestrians and bicycles, where the iron bridge is currently situated, to connect the plot to the houses on the other side of the railway line. This footbridge will be for public use. The The economic activity to be developed could focus on business proposals for advanced business support services, RDI, co-working, collaborative economy, promotion of employment for young people, recycling or crafts. Taking advantage of synergies with the existing municipal business incubator, Factoría Industrial Vicálvaro, and the potential arrival of new private business activities nearby. As it is considered a tool for the strategic regeneration of this district of the city of Madrid, the proposal to undertake work in this area must include the participation of different social and local actors who will play a decisive role in transforming this site. Specific planning rules and regulation procedure regarding the development of the site The area shown as plot A on the plans, with an area of 28,493 m 2, regulates as planned in the Incorporated Planning Area Finca de Valdecarante, which includes an industrial bylaw from the 1990s, with an edificability of 3m 2 per m 2 of land, amounting to 85,479m 2 in total.

The following restrictions must be considered: Tertiary business services in the small commercial spaces category must be located

4 on the lower ground floor and ground floor, with the premises having a combined floor area of less than or equal to 10% of the total built-up area.

5 Specific climate or environmental issues regarding the development of the site Madrid faces the challenge of mitigating and adapting to climate change, with some very unfavourable urban heat island values in the southeast of the municipality. The city has approved a Plan A in respect of Air Quality and Climate Change, which includes a series of measures to be adopted with the aim of reducing pollution, and a Plan for a More Natural Madrid that presents a series of viable solutions based on nature which are designed to reduce the adverse effects of climate change when applied to urban interventions. The application of the proposed measures in the proposals submitted will be considered. Additionally, specific issues facing the area include tackling the decay and abandonment of the area and creating local employment in an outlying neighbourhood that is a long way from the city centre. The introduction of a business/facilities centre in the industrial area nearest to the residential area would act as a kind of bridgehead over the area on the other side of the train lines, which could reverse the degradation of the estate.
